05.11.2025 04:22 โ ๐ 19898 ๐ 2705 ๐ฌ 96 ๐ 66The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.
CARTOON OF THE DAY
(From @deadder.bsky.social )
I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:
โThe limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.โ
"Poverty is not an accident. Like slavery and apartheid, it is man-made and can be removed by the actions of human beings." ~ Nelson Mandela
Fund SNAP. Reverse the Medicaid cuts. Restore USAID.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.
They have a contingency fund to ensure itโs covered in the event of a shutdown.
Theyโre refusing.
Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.
Starvation as a policy choice.
So CBS is just going to be Fox Lite?

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.
Read that back.
When 400 people control more wealth than half a countryโs population, we have a very serious problem.
This is brilliant

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
Itโs not about what this country can or canโt afford.
Itโs about priorities.
